Editors note this is a shockingly well written editorial by Paul Mulshine

After a couple of years during which Donald Trump has done so much to make the jobs of those of us in the media easier and more entertaining, I am starting to see a pattern.
First the Donald says something of which my fellow members of the media strongly disapprove.
Then they take to their computers and TV screens to declare that “This time he’s really gone too far.”
Much speculation about his replacement by someone less interesting ensues.
And then the Donald mounts a counterattack that deflates the media narrative – until next time, when he will once again go too far and start the cycle over again.
The coverage of this Charlottesville incident offered a classic example.
